Exciting diving

So where are the places to dive on the East Coast for a pair of rookie divers?

After having been certified and taken a checkout dive in a Florida spring and a little snorkeling with the manatee in January, I'm ready for the next adventure. The first experience taught me much about scuba, but it also taught me that I don't like diving in cold water. Beyond that, I don't have any idea of where to dive.

Unfortunately, finances are a huge consideration. That's why I'm confining my quest to the Southeast, places I can get to by car in 12 hours or so. Sure, I've read about diving in Bonaire and Micronesia. Those trips will have to wait until my lottery number hits. I just don't want to wait until then to get wet and blow some bubbles again.
